The pro-Western candidate (the outgoing president, Viktor Yushchenko) thoroughly lost. The narrow win by pro Russian Viktor Yanukovych was over the lady prime minister, and ALSO pro Russian, Yulia Tymoshenko. It was a race between two pro Russian politicians following the miserable performance of Yushchenko's Orange Revolution. Sadly, the Ukraine seems to be going back to Russia's orbit

What WAS the election about in terms of policy? Honest question, -- I don't know.

Russia and the Ukraine are like US America and Canada. Like peanut butter and jelly. They belong together.
